So when you are in Newbie Area MC5 and you go into the Hacknet and die rather being teleported to the Genrep in MC5 you get the genrep terminal instead and then you are stuck going to your Apartment and skipping out the MC5 Area.
The good news is the MC5 Hacknet seems to be it's own Newbie MC5 Zone. So I assume or have a feeling if you can locate the code for the newbie MC5 area you might be able to apply it to the hacknet as well.
Hope this helps.
